United Nigeria Airlines Reassures Travellers of Uninterrupted, Safe Operations Amid NiMet Strike
United Nigeria Airlines has moved to allay concerns among air travellers over the potential impact of the ongoing industrial action by the Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NiMet), affirming that its flight operations remain fully safe, reliable, and compliant with aviation regulatory standards.
In a public statement issued on Thursday, the airline expressed its unwavering commitment to ensuring the safety, comfort, and confidence of its passengers during this period of uncertainty.
The statement, signed by Chibuike Uloka, mnipr, Public Relations Officer of the airline, highlighted proactive measures already in place to guarantee uninterrupted operations across its routes.
“United Nigeria Airlines wishes to reassure our valued passengers and the general flying public that our flight operations remain safe, reliable, and fully compliant with regulatory standards, despite the ongoing industrial action by the Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NiMet),” the statement read in part.
Acknowledging the critical role NiMet plays in providing meteorological support to Nigeria’s aviation sector, the airline noted that alternative arrangements have been made to bridge any potential gaps.
These include the deployment of internationally recognised weather data sources, such as real-time satellite monitoring, global aviation meteorology systems, pilot weather reports, and robust coordination with air traffic control services.
“Our flight planning and dispatch teams are fully equipped and working round-the-clock to ensure that all safety protocols are strictly observed, and passenger comfort remains uninterrupted,” the airline affirmed.
United Nigeria Airlines further echoed the industry-wide appeal for a swift and constructive resolution to the ongoing strike, underlining the importance of NiMet’s contribution to overall aviation safety.
The airline expressed solidarity with the broader aviation community in encouraging dialogue and amicable resolution, so as to minimise disruptions to flight operations nationwide.
“At United Nigeria Airlines, the safety, comfort, and confidence of our passengers remain our top priority. We appreciate your continued trust in our services,” the airline concluded.
This reassurance comes at a time when travellers have expressed concern over flight disruptions linked to the NiMet strike.
